just wait another year or so, metalsucks will write a piece about how we shouldn't accept bands that promote rape culture and call for a boycott of Cannibal Corpse

Some of the early CC stuff makes me uncomfortable because Chris Barnes clearly loved writing songs about brutalizing women, which is frankly pretty creepy, and the loving gagging sounds in "Force Fed Broken Glass" are just unsettling, but I'll be god-damned if "Stripped, Raped and Strangled" doesn't have some of the best riffs ever written.

It's obviously done for shock/horror value but Barnes-era CC seems more rape obsessed than most death metal of the time.

I need to get into a recording studio somehow and do some lyrics about real estate, any musicians itt wanna lay down some tracks? We'll stick a clip of Alec Baldwin saying "Coffee's for closers only.

I know it's off topic for this thread, but it's pretty much the only style of vocals I do and we're kinda talking about it: I really want to do a collaborative death metal thing where the music is just uncompromisingly brutal and the lyrics are all about mental health and learning to love yourself.

Ughhhh I forgot Jon Nödtveidt was a loving murderer and accidentally got into Dissection.

I had somehow not realized that there were two relatively high profile homophobic murders (the other one being Bård Eithun stabbing a man to death) linked to the early black metal scene.

I'm uncomfortable with it but on the other hand Jon's dead, it's not like I'm supporting him. Is it moral to enjoy art when the artist has actually done something really bad? Is it moral to care less about it when said artist is dead? Am I disrespecting his victim? Jon Nödtveidt pretty clearly had some serious untreated mental health issues himself, which is honestly a whole other conversation, but I'm conflicted because on the one hand I am pretty vocal about not giving a gently caress about Burzum despite the music being an inextricable part of black metal's history, but on the other, the music is really good. Death of the author and all that. I still enjoy the setting and concepts developed by H.P. Lovecraft despite acknowledging that he was insanely racist even by the standards of the time.

I had this whole conversation with a couple dudes at the Wayfarer/Falls of Rauros/Infera Bruo show the other day, not specifically about Dissection but the increasing diversity and representation in extreme metal, and how it is a good thing. Gaahl, Marissa Martinez, Danica Roem, Mallika Sundaramurthy, Asagraum, just to name a few. I see more and more women and POCs at shows. Things are changing in a good way. I'm of two minds here and just looking for other people's thoughts.

My thought on this topic is “draw your own conclusions.” I’m not trying to be glib but there’s not a right answer and every time somebody goes through these long mental exercises about what’s okay to support I just want to shake them, especially if the artist is dead and there’s no money changing hands! There are probably thousands of decisions in your life that have a more tangible effect on the state of our hellworld than “should I consume the art of this dead rear end in a top hat for free on my own time?” If you can’t do it it without a guilty conscience then it’s not worth it. If you can, nobody cares! Just don’t give money to Nazis or violent psychos. Everything else is up to you.

You have a good point. Jon may be a dead rear end in a top hat but he made some good music. I guess it's not hurting anyone for me to listen to Dissection, it just feels strange to me to try and be a progressive leftist in our hellworld future and also love a genre of music whose birth was bloody, violent, and deranged. Suicide, murder, arson, corpse desecration, hate crimes... and now there are POCs and LGBT people making black metal. I'd like to think that makes people like Necrobutcher and Varg really angry.

At least the Darkthrone dudes grew up.

I don’t know what Necrobutcher’s beliefs are but the presence of artists like that (and generally left-leaning bands, which USBM in particular is full of these days) certainly pisses off the right kind of people.

Necrobutcher is just a dumb racist edgelord, but Hellhammer is an actual white supremacist who has gone on record as saying that black metal is only for white people

USBM is great these days and the Boston metal scene in general leans pretty hard to the left. Met a dude at the Wayfarer show with a "gently caress NSBM" patch, and have seen multiple anti-nazi, anti-racist shirts and patches around. Plus in MA we have the Satanic Temple, which is progressive feminist humanism with pentagrams (as opposed to the Church of Satan, which is Randian Objectivism with pentagrams). It's only fitting that Satanists are fighting for social justice in hellworld.

I saw Saor last week and was thinking about how I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some fashy views based on subject matter, but I understand that Scottish nationalism is a very different thing than American nationalism or a lot of mainland European nationalism. Plus he’s friends with Panopticon and tours with Wayfarer. There is a lyric on Aura about the “age of degeneracy” but that was before it was a Nazi buzzword as far as I know.

Scottish nationalism is less fascist than it is "gently caress the English". Scottish or Irish pride from people actually from those countries is a very different beast compared to easily sunburned white Americans who are proud of something they have only a tenuous connection to.

I saw a dude in an Absurd shirt at a Suffocation show and I was like what the gently caress is a dude who listens to nazi music doing at a show with a black guitarist

patch company quoted me $97 for 10 patches. 3"x2" embroidered lettering, embroidered edge. That seems like a lot unless I get at least 9 people willing to pay $10 each (I want one for myself, if I get more than that I'll place a bigger order), I don't want to buy 10 patches and not have any interest.

I'm not doing it for profit. It's through Patches4Less, which a lot of smaller bands/labels use from what I can tell. If I were to make them from scratch, it'd be a lot more expensive in terms of supplies, and lower quality because I don't have the equipment or experience.

I could paint on canvas, but I am not especially good at that. I'm willing to spend on something well made like this.

that company would probably be happy to print pro NS patches if you asked them.

I spoke to a supervisor at Patches4Less just now and he told me he had to check what NSBM meant and threw in a 5% discount because they're down with the message and would actually refuse to fulfill a pro-NS order. I'm cool with giving money to a company that is on board with telling Nazis to gently caress off.
